Over 2 million worldwide protest on March 20: Under the banner,The World Still Says No to War, people in more than 60 countries throughout the worldfrom Japan to South Korea to Spain to Australia to South Africacalled for an end to the occupation of Iraq and condemned the Bush Administrations empire-building agenda. The March 20 global day of protest surpassed our most optimistic expectations, both in terms of the number of cities and countries that organized events and the number of people who took to the streets. At least 300 US cities and towns held anti-war events on Saturday, as did more than 300 other cities throughout the world.

Election news from France: a photographic essay.

Starting with the Spring 2001 issue, the online version of the magazine will be posting submissions (original texts or otherwise) as we receive and edit themthis in all three languages, English, Creole, French. Regarding the print version of the journal, we will publish it in a series of special issues that will more or less reflect its electronic counterpart. This new configuration of the magazine will be very beneficial to the reader who would like to read it more often and more regularly. Enjoy your reading!
